A device and method for broken tap removal are provided herein. The tap includes a circular longitudinal cavity used for removal and coolant transport. A tap removal tool that is pre-formed to fit the tap's center hole and provides at least three points of contact with the broken tap portion to allow for ease in removing the broken tap.

A tap cutting tool comprising a first end configured to engage with a chuck of a drill and a second end having one or more thread cutting surfaces spaced apart around the perimeter of the second end and each thread cutting surface extending at least partially along a length of the second end with a void space or flute positioned between each adjacent thread cutting surface. The tap cutting tool is configured to produce a threaded hole in a non-metal workpiece when rotated.

A tap extraction tool for extracting a broken tap from a workpiece using an accompanying impact driver. The tool features a tool body shaft with a drive end, and a working end situated distally thereof along a longitudinal axis. The working end has tapered teeth and intervening void spaces arranged around the axis. The tapered tooth geometry includes a narrowing of a circumferential tooth width to a pointed biting edge in a radially inward direction, and a narrowing of a radial tooth thickness in the longitudinally distal direction. Two inner faces of the working tooth convergently intersect at the biting edge, which angles outwardly away from the central longitudinal axis in the longitudinally distal direction. The circumferential tooth width also narrows in a radially inward direction, from two non-parallel and convergently angled outside edges of an outer circumferential surface of the tooth.
